They all point to programs like Social Security as examples of things we need yet all we keep hearing is that it may not even be around by the time I get there and raising the age for it anyway.

I’d rather keep my money and invest it as I see fit but the government can control me more the more I have to rely on them. Which is exactly what they want; to control me.

I hadn’t considered this. I thought the public option was supposed to help drive down costs and make coverage more affordable due to increased competition, but during Obama’s address to congress tonight, I came away unsure of how that would be possible. He said the public option would only be available to a certain subset of the population (est. 5% of the customer base – presumably people who can’t afford the premiums or are otherwise ineligible by private insurers’ standards). If private companies wanted this subset of customers, wouldn’t they already have them? It’s still better than the 5% having no options for help at all – I just don’t understand how it will drive down costs, unless I missed something.

If anyone can find a weaker argument for universal health care than this one, please post it on this site for others to compare.
And Bush, the guy that’s so stupid, planned a great conspiracy of killing 3,000 Americans on 9/11. He should have gotten all those “white environmentalist” to help him out so that he could have killed only black Americans. Oh, that’s right, my apologies, there are no black Americans; only African-Americans. I’m sure the next racist President (I.E. white Christian male) can plan that out.

I remember when I was young making plans to help the “white environmentalist” poison the colored communities. We did it in between his two jobs and raising the 5 kids with my mother.
